Saw zilla! [Posted on 2001-10-15]
I purchaced this saw for a special reason, to cut through the top of a boat that had to have it's motors changed.This wasen't your everyday kind of job,but one where the material was 4.5 inches thick and needed to be cut on a 35 degree angle.It's performance was remarkable to say the least. Although it was a little on the heavy side, it was not hard to control.It's power was easy to control,a civil beast. Other than a few sharp edges on the saw parts, I'd say it was a pretty nice job on the conversion of it's former self to it's present form. The carbide blade was very good and hung in there cutting the fiberglass composit deck and although I know this was not it's intended use, it still performed great. Now is this saw worth it's price tag? That depends on you, but I'll tell you this, it sure was for me! And one last thing, be prepared for a lot of comments about the size of your saw,it is after all a godzilla of a tool. Hey, and you get a nice t-shirt too!

It was mismanufactured and sat out of square on the sled. Then the degree angle levers were misaligned;you could not tighten them as they struck the sled. I found that the big hole in the sled makes it hard to use when starting cutting a beam. The power is not alot different than my 7 1/4 Bosch circulat saw. You have to be really careful to pry away the cut off as the saw binds and stops.
The guard lever needs to be longer as NORMAL fingers cant hold it up when starting the cut.
I did not find it all that heavy.
